Fonda, Johnstown & Gloversville No. 6 poses on an ancient wooden turntable, one of two 4-6-0's acquired during the 1880's. The photo was probably taken at Northville, N.Y. in 1889. The company was incorporated on January 17, 1867 and opened for business on December 1, 1870. Through the acquisition of both competing and connecting steam and electric roads, The FJ&G built a mini-rail empire consisting at its peak of over 100 miles of track. In 1930 the company was operating five steam locomotives, one electric loco, 37 pieces of steam road equipment, 47 trolleys, 33 other electric cars and ten motor buses.
